OK, real quickly, as I have to get out the door, like now. Yesterday, I kind of went on what seems like a mini spending spree.
I bought breakfast (the best biscuits and gravy) from the coffee shop at Harley Davidson (only make them on Saturday's). Getting the full order, I spent $4.30 on breakfast. I know I should have only did the half order, if I was going to do this, but oh well, they were so good and kept me full all the way through to dinner last night.
I also bought a bottle of coke, first time in a few days, for $1.39. On the way out the door (from work) as I was heading to the house, I bought some sweet potatoes for dinner at 99 cents a pound, I got just over two pounds. Along with the peanut butter (store brand) I spent $5.72 on groceries.
As, I was driving home, I stopped and put $20 of gas in the gas tank. Next week, I hope to completely fill the tank as I expect at least 1 if not 2 checks from other sources. It will be so nice, to have a full tank of gas again. OK, I better go, today, I am making every effort to not spend a single dime.

If you like soda why not buy a case when it is on sale and bring to work with you? At least that will be cheaper than buying a bottle here and there. Or DRINK WATER! I freeze bottles half with water, then as I leave I fill other half with cold water and as it melts, nice and refreshing all day and so CHEAP! -Becky

If you do not have enough money to fill your gas tank, I would think you would skip buying your self breakfast and $1.39 bottles of coke. I think you need to re-assess your budget. My gas tank gets filled before I buy groceries, because I need the car to get to work!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I agree with Becky in regards to soda spending, if you have to drink it then buy it by the case or 12 pack it's SO much cheaper....at $1.39/bottle you are spending about .09 cents per ounce (assuming it is the 16 oz bottle) - if you bought a 12 pack for $2.99 it is about .02 cents per ounce. Simple math my friend.
